Arizona Chickens

Frankie is 9 months, weighs 56 lbs right now. Our vet required the sterilization by 9 months when it's a part of this puppy package my husband got at the first inspection. We wanted to wait until he was a year old and were kinda disappointed when we found that out.

The prime age of neutering is actually more breed specific than some realize. Our vet was adamant about waiting until our German Shepherd was a year old before neutering him in order to reduce the effects of hip dysplasia in the breed. For our Schipperke we were told to "try" to prolong it until he started lifting his leg to pee up to 18 months. Early neutering isn't always the best course.
 
Unfortunately it's a powder so it's harder. I tried dipping chicken in it and even PB but he could smell it. But I actually got two similar ones and the one I haven't tried yet I think is liver flavor so maybe he will try that one. He can be pretty picky and he's smart so he knows when it's in there lol

Um...how about peanut butter? I've never had a dog I couldn't sneak meds to in peanut butter. :D

I agree 100% At least he started hiking his leg and humping everyone before it was done. We don't want him to be aggressive, but not a pushover either.

Yeah, for large breeds they usually say to wait until at least 18 months I think. For some breeds too early can cause cancer too, like Rottweilers.

I tried but he could smell it or something and refused lol

Meds wrapped in a piece of cheese or slice of Turkey

That's a good idea.

Our current rescue girl - she's a Chug - does not like peanut butter! I never met a dog that did not like peanut butter. I often use brunsweiger (sp) when we have prolonged meds to give.

Wow how odd. And what is a chug?

Supposedly intact dogs aren't more aggressive but idk
 
@KDOGG331 It is a mix of a Pug and a Chihuahua - this one is considered the ugly side of the mix. She has a short nose, big Chi ears, semi bulging eyes, curly tail and a square body with skinny Chi legs. The best part is she is brindle colored. She is the sweetest of the sweet and about 6 years old. Abbie_n.jpg
